GUWAHATI: The Divyangjans who have been deprived of the 'Deendayal Divyangjan Pension Scheme' staged a protest in front of the Directorate of Social Welfare here on Wednesday.
The protest was staged under the banner of the Pratibandhi Suraksha Sangstha, Assam (PSSA).
"We have to protest regularly to get the funds sought by the Social Welfare department for the payment of pension to persons with disabilities. Under the Deendayal Divyangjan Pension Scheme, disabled persons are paid Rs 1,000 as monthly pension. However, the beneficiaries have not received the amount from October 2020 to March 21 due to the negligence of the Social Welfare Department," said PSSA secretary Nripen Malakar.
